Havana: Venue for July 26th
National Uprising Day
The Cuban capital will host
festivities for the Day of
National Uprising, which this
year marks the 52nd anniversary
of the attack on the Moncada
barracks, commanded by Fidel
Castro on July 26, 1953.
The attack failed to achieve a
military victory but marked the
beginning of a decisive stage in
the liberation struggles at the
time. The date is thus recalled
with joy nationwide, and each
year, the different Cuban
provinces contest to be the
venue for the festivities.
The Cuban Communist Party´s
Political Bureau made the
selection, in recognition of the
work and efforts of the Havana
population throughout the year.
Voices echoing satisfaction and
joy have been heard here since
very early today, with the
metropolitan population
celebrating in the streets and
workplaces.
On the day, various social works
will be opened, including
restored hospitals and
polyclinics.
As is the tradition, each
neighborhood will organize
street parties on the night of
the 25th.
